Hello Everyone

Today I am sharing a card which was truly an inspiration from a beautiful lady Natasha Davies . I am so inspired by her work that I tried to create and use one of her techniques in my card.

For my card I have used wow embossing powder to create my background and one of Altenew stamps called Botanical You.

Matrials:

-Botanical You stamps

-Botanical You dies

-Pick me up embossing powder and Embossing Ink

-Neenah Solar white

-Altenew Greenfields Ink pads

-Altenew Sea Shore Ink pads

-Altenew Black Permanent ink pads

Steps:

-For My background I have created a small video which you can watch and follow.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_n2qHL40Nug&t=13s

I took a piece of 4 1/4' x 5 1/2' Cardstock and put painters tapes on the gaps. Then I applied embossing inks on those middle parts.

Once happy I heat embossed using the wow embossing powder Punch.

• After that I went ahead and used the ALtenew botanical you stamp set using my green Ink fields ink pads and Sea shore Ink pads . I stamped the word you on another sheet of neenah solar white and die cut the word to stick using foam tape.
• I stamped the sentiment with the black permanent ink to finish my card

Hope you all like it. If you have any questions feel free to message me.

Then I arranged all flowers and Leaves the way I wanted .

One of the flower which is on the top is stuck with the foam tape to give dimensions.

I heat embossed word thanks with white embossing powder, for the stamp I have used thank you word from the set called Many Thanks.

Hi Everyone,
Today I am here to show one more project for Altenew. For this purpose I have selected another one of my favorite Class Creative watercolour Media.
For this project I wanted to try and improve my coloring techniques by using the Altenew Watercolour Palette and Altenew Water brush Pens.
I have used the stamp sets Build-A-Flower: Anemone Coronaria and for the sentiment I chose my "happy" word from the Script Words 2. " for you" is from the halftone happy stamp set.

Basic Techniques and Process for making this Card:

• For making this card , I have used the basic technique of masking.
• First I planned how many flowers I want on the top and then stamped them randomly on my strathmore Watercolor Paper Cold press using distress ink Antique Linen.

• Once I have got my top flowers I masked them with the flowers which I got by stamping them on a paper separately and fussy cutting them out as I wanted no white background in the flowers.

• I have done the same techniques for the leaves as well and masked few to see the over lapping ones coming underneath the flowers.
• After I was happy with my stamped images I started my coloring process.
• Foremost I did a brown water wash outside my outline images. So spreading the brown outline with more water.
• Then slowly and patiently I started doing every alternate petal at a time so that they are not wet as when I do the petal in between the two I did before.

• For the middle of the flowers I did black dots with watercolor.
• For a bit of enhancement I also splattered some white with my brush.
• My sentiment "happy" was cut two times on white card stock and 1 pcs in gold glitter card stock to have a raised effect.
• "for you" I stamped with the Altenew New Antique Gold Pigment Ink on a black card stock.

Its amazing when you are challenged with something out of your comfort zone and try something new. I really would like to Thank Virginia and Erum for their support and love.
I look forward to create more and present myself more under their beautiful guidance.
Hope you all like it.

Regards

Neha

An amazing month of April started with Altenew class in Melbourne with Tasnim and Therese. Finally I got to meet them in person.
Now coming to my second last lesson for AECP. For this lesson I took Therese Calvird class at the Academy called Easy as ABC.
The Lesson was all about to make the best use of your Alphabet stamp and Dies. With the help of Therese Video here is what I have created.

For this card I have used Botanical You stamp set. And for making the best use of this stamp, I have used all the sentiments which were in this stamp set. Created my background with heat embossing. I have also used the layering word "you" with heat embossing.

After finishing my heat embossing I have used Picket fence Blending brush to do my background . I have used the ink pads from Altenew which are lagoon, Volcano lake, and Mountain Mist.

After completing I die cut out my word 'You' from the base base cardstock as well as the leafy YOU with the help of the coordinating dies. I mounted the leafy YOU with the foam to give extra dimensions so that they look like popped out from the base.

To finish my card I added a strip of sentiment heat embossed again on a black strip.
Hoping to finish my last lessons soon with my AECP.

Welcome back to my blog.
Today, I am sharing another technique which I learned from Jennifer Rzasa. Absolutely amazing technique. In this one I have used my pan colours as my inks and spritzing with water before stamping. The results are really beautiful.

For this card , I used the stamp set called Dainty bouquet stamp. First taking the big stamp on my acrylic block and using the teal colour along with the waterbrush pen I applied it on my stamps. TIP: make sure when you are lifting the colour it should not be watery otherwise it will get smudged when stamped therefore it should have lot of pigment in it.
Once I finished doing with my large one . I placed the big one in such a way that they look like one stem and did all the same step as the first one.
Once I applied the colour I sprayed a bit of water on it so that the dry colours are all reactivated.

Now with the layering of just the flowers I have used the second medium and darker teal from my ink pads to have their layers stamped on top of each other.

For my sentiments I have used it from Build-A- Flower camellia with a jet black ink. Also a bit of splatter with black was done to finish the card.
Hope you all like it.

Don't forget to leave me some comments.

Wow ! finally onto my last card for my level 2 Altenew Educator Program.
Today I am sharing the card which I created after learning from the Guru's of Altenew Jennifer Rzasa, Debby Hughes, and Laura Bassen. Wow their online class Creative water color media is just amazing.
So many different ways you can color your images by just using Altenew's ink pads or re-inkers .. yes I am right just re-inkers.
At the end of this blog post I have also attached a small experiment I did with my re-inkers. O what a fun!
So here I am with my Card where I have used Canson watercolor Paper , Peach perfect re-inker for my background and flowers from Altenew Disty Print Stamp. Images are colored using ink pads and water brush pen.

For my Background ,I took a piece of canson cardstock. Then I took out few drops of re-inker on my Glass media mat and sprayed water over re-inker drops . With the help of a water brush pen I tried to lift and dabbed the ink on my paper gently everywhere (I had sparyed lots of water on my mat over the reinker drops) as I wanted a very light colour for my background.
Ones the background is dry I used a gold embossing powder to heat emboss my Ditsy print stamped images.

For colouring my leaves and flowers I firstly dabbed a colour on the mat and then picked them up with my water brush pen to paint my flowers.
Now my sentiments are from halftone everything stamp and dies where I used a royal blue cardstock along with white to cut them out and used foam tape to adhere them . From the same coordinating stamp set , I have also stamped "Thanks for" with Persian blue ink pad .
Last part of the card was a bit of enhancing my flower center which I did with some diamonds lying in my stash.

Hope you all liked it .
Oh! before I forget , here is my experimented work or you can say a background I created with the re-inker on a glossy card stock.

Hope you all like it.
Please don't forget to leave me a comment as its boosts my morale to create more for sure.

Regards

Good Morning Everyone,
Today I am sharing a card which I made for my Altenew Educator Cetification Program which relates to use of single colour or rainbow colours in your project.
So here I am with my card where I have used the dies called Layered cityscape cover Die B from Altenew for my buildings. To colour them I have used my Zig Markers in Violet, red , blue , green and Yellow.

I do cut out two pcs of Canson watercolour paper for my Buildings and then used my Magic mat ( Glass media mat ) for playing around with my markers.
For my sentiments I have used Dearest Friend stamp set and embossed them with white embossing powder on a black cardstock.

Hope you all like it.

Regards

Hello Everyone,
Its me , Yes I am back again with my Altenew Journey . A bit of gap and busy with my craft show here in Brisbane kept me away from creating. Now here I am with my another card.

In this card I have used the Altenew Starry flower along with its matching dies. Word Thank you is also used from one of the Altenew Thank you dies. The starry flower was also embossed with the white Embossing powered and flower centers are done with nuvo drops.
The Inks which I have used are the new release from the Altenew called the Enchanted Garden Mini Cube Set. I have also scored on my background cardstock to enhance it.
Hope you all like it.regardsNeha
